Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Panigale V2 2020

For us, the Panigale V2 is the ultimate road super sports bike. Sophisticated electronic assistance systems that leave nothing to be desired, Ducati's fun 955 cm³ two-cylinder Superquadro engine that generates more than enough power for the road with 155 hp, a great seating position and a high degree of controllability. All of this characterises the Panigale V2 and for this reason it is probably "the" country road supersports bike for us at the moment, but it also cuts a good figure on the racetrack. The Panigale V2 should appeal above all to pilots for whom 200 hp rockets are a bit too much, and to all those who have also been enchanted by this work of art on two wheels.
Yamaha YZF-R6 2017

The Yamaha R6 2017 is still a visually and dynamically radical supersport motorbike that is one of the best and probably the last of its kind. The EURO4 standard costs the 599 cubic in-line four-cylinder with titanium valves a whole 11 hp compared to the 2007/2008 model. Yamaha is clearly targeting hobby, amateur and professional racers who don't care about standard performance anyway. With more than 50 accessories, the R6 can be upgraded according to need and budget. However, everyone should be aware that this can cost a lot of money.
